Abstract
Boron(III) complexation was investigated in a series of β-substituted porphycenes. Unlike meso-arylporphycenes, these macrocycles undergo a facile complexation reaction. Upon fusion of the β,β'-positions of the porphycene ligand, the complexation resulted in fast insertion of boron, forming the cisoid-B2OF2 complex. However, in the case of the other β-substituted porphycenes, only bis-BF2 complexes formed. The effect of these substituents on the core geometry and photophysical properties are elaborated here.
